STRING EM' UP!
Don't panic. I'm not writing about
a lynching today. But, you could call
it a hanging! This is "International
Clothes Line Week." It's an effort
to get more people to use nature rather
than power to dry their clothes. I've
addressed this subject in previous blogs
but it's worth revisiting! I remember the
back yard clothes line very well. But
sometime over the years housing
developments of various kinds decided
it didn't look good to have laundry hanging
outside your home. So, they banned
clotheslines! I remember seeing laundry
hanging from the windows of homes in
Italy. It didn't offend me in the least.
I still see clothes lines from time to time
but they're usually at homes out in the
country. In most communities the clothesline
has gone the way of the burn barrel. How
ironic that's the case at a time we're pushing
for conservation and more "living green."
Hope the clothesline makes a comeback
and that all your NEWS is good!
